Fulton Awards
The Concrete Society of Southern
Africa’s prestigious, biennial Fulton
Awards recognise and honour excellence
and innovation in the design and use
of concrete. The winners of the 2017
awards were announced at a special Gala
Dinner held as part of the Fulton Awards
Weekend from 2 to 4 June at Champagne
Sports Resort in the Drakensberg.
The Fulton Awards began over 30 years
ago as a tribute to the late Dr Sandy Fulton
for his contribution to the understanding
of concrete, its development and
improvement. The 2017 awards featured
brand new categories and a new approach
to judging. Concrete Society CEO and
director John Sheath explains the
changes, saying, “We had drifted away
from identifying all that was special and
exceptional in the concrete, and in the
opinion of the Fulton Awards Committee,
we were focusing too much on the total
project on hand, considering aspects that
had little to do with the material.”

entry categories for the 2017 Fulton Awards
